IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.

cling the wickwhich extends downward to near the;

bottom of the oil-reservoir; a screw-cap for securing it upon the socket of the lamp; a device for raising the wick'; and two concavofconvex cones, the interior polished surface ot'- the upper one acting as a deector of the rays of light to throw them downward upon the upper surface of the lower one, by which they are reflected into the room in which the lamp is placed,

1? is a wick-tube of the ordinary size, but of such a length that it extends nearly to the bottom of the fountain whenthe burner is attached to the lamp.

C is the deflecting cone, whichmay be made iu any of the known forms, but which is to have both its inne'r and outer surfaces polished, soA that its inner sur-4 face shall act as a `deilector of the rays 1 of' light, and cause them to impinge upon the upper surface of-the `are detiected upon it by the interior surface of the upper cone may be reflected outward-into the room.

The arrangement of these cones with reference to each other and to the wick-tube is shownin the drawing.

LI prefer to make the above-described cones of speculnin or other white metal', but they may bemade of brass and plated with silver or-any other metal capable of receiving a high polish.
